We made DEV open source in 2018 with the intent of making it generalized for more uses. It wasn't until 2020 that we came up with the name Forem, but it was the same thing. We used to say "generalized DEV instance", which made no sense.
The good thing about the name change was that Forem has been pretty intuitive. We've had a slow ramp to get to official branding everywhere, but folks generally picked up the naming ideas in a timely manner.

Thanks for the input! 😉
Awesome you made it, as we see Forem's communities growing 😉👍
